Removes snow and ice. Snowplows are special devices attached to vehicles like trucks and loaders that push snow off roads, parking lots, and runways to keep them safe for travel.

Many types of vehicles. Snowplows can be mounted on pickup trucks, front end loaders, graders, train locomotives, and rail cars, depending on what needs to be cleared.

Works on different surfaces. Snowplows clear roads, airports, train tracks, and parking lots, helping transportation keep moving even during heavy winter storms.

Clears packed snow too. In places that don't get much snow, graders can be used as snowplows to break up and remove hard, compacted ice and snow from streets.
